hi guys,
i have the O2 sms plus working fine on my wizard, but lately i had a problem which prevented me from using my wizard, it has a speaker problem. now i'm using my jasjar and when i wanted to use o2 sms plus on it, it shows a very small font size because of the VGA screen.
i was wondering, is there a version of this app compatible with the vga screen on my jasjar?
i've done some search on the web but no luck in finding any.
thanks in advance for the help guys.
What is sms plus?
Yes it is possible, but as you said the font is small...
I could be way off track here, but is SMS Plus the o2 app that enahnces SMS communications via setting it up similar to a chat type setup. So all your SMSes are logged under the one contact ect. Im sure I read about it in the reviews of the o2 Atom.
In any case, can you send me or post the SMS Plus app
1. I would like to try it
2. I have had success in the past getting around a few customisation things, I might be able to fix this one up for you.
Cheers.
Well I found the app already.
Nice app indeed, but also indeedy about the text.
Resource Hacker can modify the font sizes etc, and can take it out of Hires Awareness mode, however, when resource hacker recompiles the exe file it looses its ability for it to run on the Pocket PC.
So essentially if there is a basic resource hacker for the pocket PC where in business, or perhaps a hex editor might do the trick since it might be less invasive.
Where did you found it?
i don't remember where i got it from, or if it's available in this forum, but anyway here it is.
When I do a reply to a sms I can't see what I'm trying to type. Does anyone else have this problem?
Fish
Yes thats the problem we all face. Small fonts and inproportionate dialogues in the application.
Like I said a resource hacker can fix it, so if you know of any WM5 or just PDA resource hackers, let me know and ill get back on it
The small font I didn't find too annoying. It's just not actually being able to reply to any texts because I couldn't tell if I was actually inputting anything. Hopefully the WM5 gods on the board will sort it out. I can't wait for a proper sms chat style app to be working. It's one of the things I miss from my Treo.

well, this happens because the original app was developed for the wizard which has a 320X240 screen. on the jasjar the screen as you know is bigger with a 640X480 (VGA).
that's why you don't see the text when replying to your sms.
hopfully someone can modify the font size in the app so it will be more compatible with the vga screen, i really like this app and when i got it on my kjam i didn't use the default messaging app at all and this was my default.
>BUMP<
please, someone get this to work on the XV6700... the only problem is that it wont recognize the phone as being on!!!! :?: :!:
Anybody get this to work on a 6700?
This now works on the 6700:
http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70428
Anybody know how to make it the default text messenger? Currently, a new message results in a notification baloon, which, when you click "view" continues to open pocket outlook instead of 02sms plus. You then have to manually run 02sms plus to use it.
so does this app really work like d default SMS chat software on d treo650 & 600 where all incoming & outgoing messages r grouped per name(sender/receiver)?
ive tried it b4 on my htc univ in true/real VGA mode using ozVGA. i had no issues w/ font being too small. its just that d SMS chat grouping didnt work like that in d treos.
did palm/palmOS patent that or is it just hard 2 implement on WM/PPC phones?
hey just wanted to know if there is a palm sms threader for the touch? or does the one for the titan work?
There is one, search for: shogunmark_wm6_threaded
It works great
Here is the link, to save you the search time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319899&highlight=Threaded+SMS
yea it does work pretty good but i think thats the one i had on the titan wasnt sure if it was gonna work on the touch thanks alot bro
hey i dont know if your having this problem but it doesnt notify me when i get a text like it tells me on the screen i got one but it doesnt make any sounds... is there a fix for this?
I use ringo, and it works fine for me, the volume is up i'm assuming?
if you didn't know this already, you have to specifically set a sound for the Palm Messaging App. try Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications Tab, scroll and select "Messaging: New Message (Palm)" and then select the sound you want to play when a text message received via the Palm app.
I used this same app on my Wizard way back and loved it. I couldn't live without it once I tried it. Last I heard it is supposed to be compatible with ALL WM6 devices so it should work fine with the Touch.
yea it works now i had to pick a sound for it lol i feel stupid now but now the other problem is that when i bring up the touch keyboard with the t9 it doesnt show me the words i could choose from... they stay at the bottom so i have to bring the keyboard up and down all the time... is there a way to fix that?

I don't think so, I wish there was.... I use the Full Screen Keyboard, once you start sending messages, you'll get used to not seeing the words....
i hope that we can custom the Keyboard to go up an 1 inch so we can see what we doing.
Thats what i asked in another thread...a automatic resize, like what it does in pocket ie, its not a big deal to me anymore, i'm used to it...
When getting rid of this app. It takes away the orginal Text Messages. Anyway to bring them back with out backing up phone?
Sms Thread
Guys, you should do a search for pocketCM. Is is really good and do a lot more than what you are looking for.
Well I have tried that. But cant seem to get it to work corectly on my HTC VOUGE
Ny only complaint to the threaded sms is not seeing what im typing. Loved it on my mogul though
MMS..does it work????
hey guys,
ive asked this in other threads but no reply. can someone tell me if this app allows you to use mms. according to the other threads, everybody is having problems sending and receiving mms. can we use this app solely for the threaded sms part and THEN USE ppcgeeks mms app. will that solve the trick??? plz let me know. i have a sprint touch. thanks alot guys!
currently using pocketcm v.18 also. is there any incompatiblity issues if use this threaded app as well????
i was just about to ask this, i need to find a solution to this!
HELP!
I only receive SMS only when the screen is lighted. If my HD is on standby the whole day, I wouldnt receive a single SMS. THis is irritating. Whenever I ON my screen, I would receive a couple of msgs at one go, all timed hours ago. Its really irritating!!!
Anyone experience the same issue???
are u using phoneLog for logging calls and sms to calendar? I experienced this - and sometimes even did not receive any sms - when I used that app ...

Nope, non of the above... have been using HD for a month plus.. still not receiving sms when on STANDBY with screen OFF... sigh.. I on my screen every couple of mins to ensure im not missing a reply to someone's sms... ugghhh!
Is this when your in vibrate mode or normal? For vibrate to work I found you have to enable it in the sound settings. This is not normally needed but for some reason you have to on our devices :S
My Touch HD is back in its box precisely because SMS (text) messages did not alert me to their arrival when the HD was in standby.
I tried all the suggestions made by other posters, including hard reset, but none worked reliably. Reading some of the posts reveals that this bug has existed since the Diamond came out but HTC is in no hurry to fix it.
I can't tell whether any of the 'ROMs' that others produce will cure this problem and am left with an expensive paperweight.
For the time being, I am back using my Treo 680, which has no problems with SMS. Sadly, I shall have to abandon it eventually because Palm does not intend to produce 64bit drivers to enable synchronization. Ah, well, nothing's perfect!

OMG! thats sad! but seriously Im feeling the same.. sometimes when i go out, i switch to a cheap basic spare fone (LG KP110). its sms is way more reliable.. I bought the HD at SG$1250 and yet I cant receive SMSs.. sighz.. tot of selling it away.. but not.. but yes.. maybe not.. sighz...
same here
I have the same issue. Randomly SMS sound does not play until i turn on the screen. I m using stock 1.56 UK Rom. I have a friend at the office with same phone and he is facing the same problem.
All settings are correct. It's obvious because lot of times i get the sound notification while in standby mode....
Don't know what to do.....cheapest phones do this right...
That is so true! i totally agree.. Sometimes it goes back to basic.. the HD gets too complicated that it doesnt even know how to notify its owner of an incoming sms.. this sucks big time.. till this very day I haf to on and off my screen every 10mins to ensure i dun miss a single sms..
If you use HD Tweak, there is an option to set the HD to wake up and notify you when it receives an SMS...
is there a way i can receive an sms with a sound notification instead of the whole phone waking up with screen lit?
is there a way to shorten the vibration when an SMS comes in? the HD vibrates quite long and strong for a single SMS. Just curious. Might help abit in saving battery's life.
Hi, I had this problem after I installed the WWE 1.14 for Middle East, especially after installing the official Arabic Lang. update from HTC !!! When I wake up the Phone from the stanby mode I Receive all the incoming messages at once and the Phone plays the SMS alert !
After Hard resetting the phone and installing a new ROM (1.19 WWE for Hong Kong) the problem didnt go till I went to Settings---> Sounds and Notifications-----> new SMS----> Disable Alert, Vibrator, Falshing Light !!! Basically disable everything and press OK to return to the touch FLO home.
After that, Go again and enable the SMS notification with or without Vibration as you like and it will work !!!
Now, I discovered that any programm that is not made buy a software house, I mean programms made by home developers prematurely screw your system especially programms that interfere with the Windows Shell and System processes and Alerts !!!
My advice is Install a fresh new WWE rom (1.19), if the alert didnt work, Go disable the Alert, press ok, return to home screen, then go back and enable it and it will work !! it seems that there are some things that does not change in the phone settings even if you hard reset or install a new ROM !!!!
For 1.19 WWE and some other Roms, Dont close SMS application directly after sending a message, just press the Home button to return back ! the SMS application interface will stay in the bakground and wont take more than 1% from your free memory ! I noticed even on my current 1.19 rom is if I send an SMS and diredcly Click the X to close the application after sending the message it will cause the phone not to receive next sms untill I open the SMS application !!! Any how, you can close it after a minute if it bothers you to keep it in the background.
I hope this helps !!! I used Duttys 1.17 and faced the 'Coruppted Ringtone problem', that the phone wont ring and switch to a default ring that is not loud and made me miss calls, only soft reset solved it but it came back every 2 weeks !!! no body could solve it even Dutty dont know what is the problem !!!
At the end it is a phone !!! should call, Ring, Send and Receive calls perfectly !! Any Small Samsung or Nokia or SonyEricsson phone worth 100 $ could do the job perfectly while we pay 800 $ for this HD and it cant ring o receive SMS !!!
Therfore, my advice is to use Stock Rom and dont install any programm that is made at home !!! or any other programm that interere with the system process and alerts or Language !!! Do not play with memory management or registry settings !!!
To customize my phone I installed SPB shell and its wonderfull and better than Touch flo except for the Music Player as you will have to use Window Media !!!

Another tip,
Go to the registry using registry editor and change si follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Locate DisableSMSWakeUpEvent entry, and change its value to 0 (the value is 1 by default).
Hope this helps
I suggest that you change your rom

I support this view. Don't be disheartened as probs like this rarely have anything to do with hardware and are generally software bugs which are cured by just updating to official / custom ROM. (this is the best and yet worst part of thing called Micro$oft )
Please read pros and cons of flashing roms well before trying anyhing !
FYI:
HTC have confirmed that there is a bug with WM6.5 that shows that you have an unread message, while you clearly don't.
A fix is being prepared by Microsoft.
Never knew about that...
But knew about alarm ringing alarm and notification sound mixed.... and alarm does not stop... in the morning.
Battery additional info reseted to "0" so no historical info there....
No option to light signal for more that 5 minutes (thank god there is a registry tweak for that).
Well. I'll keep waiting.

What about the other bugs? Or am I the only one having them:
-Extra blank line between input-box and suggested words-line. Meaning the suggested words-line cross the "send"-button, and when you're picking a word, you accidently push "send".
-TouchFlo/Sense now only shows 160(?) letters in SMS-dialogue. Almost all my sms, in and out, exceed 160, so to read sms now, I have to use the Windows-dialogue(inbox). This was not a problem on WM6.1
-The input box and keyboard overlay the sms-dialogue, so what you see when you write a new text, is NOT the last you recieved, but 2 or 3 messages back in history. The newest ones are hidden behind keyboard, instead of scrolled up.
The weird thing is that these don't seem like bugs, just.. bad construction.

Totally with ya on this one, toth42. I'm having exactly the same issues and think it's Sense rather than WinMo 6.5 itself...

Yea, I'll say it's sense/manila/tf3d, but all the problems occured after the official 6.5 update.
BTW, the one bug, with last SMS's being hidden by keyboard and textbox, is the same in WinMo(inbox). Just check, go to a conversation in your inbox, and whip up the keyboard. The keyboard and text-box takes most of the screen, and what u see above it, is not the last message of the conversation.
They are not bugs, just bad ideas badly implemented i suppose. Yep, the one with send button is driving me crazy

I seem to recall there was a hotfix for this for 6.1, called something like "hotfix for fixing the problem with the extra white line when writing sms"? And still they don't implement the fix in the next version?
Hey guys i got the issue fixed using a little tool to clear the message count. Check this post, and thanks to onthemail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1519862&postcount=3
Run the program and do a soft reset - wait a couple of seconds and the annoying green message count will disappear. If not, do it all again (run program and soft reset) and it should def work.
Good luck

Although I'm not experiencing the exact same problem the topic starter posted, I'm also having a problem with the HTC SMS. When I go to contacts, choose one of my favorites, go to the sms tab and send an sms from there, sometimes the sms doesn't show up in the thread, it just totally disappears from the device. As far as I know the messages are sent to the person, but it's annoying to me to not be able to read back what I wrote.
Anyone familiar with this problem and has a solution for it?
Thanks in advance!
I get quite a few Joke texts sent, but the long ones allways get cut off near the end. Some of them must be 4 or more texts long. I didnt have this problem until i upgraded to win 6.5. I allways miss the punchline is this a known problem and is there a fix or is there i setting i have missed.

It's a bug in WM6.5 unfortunately. You have to go in to Windows messages to see the entire message (as opposed to HTC's sense UI)..it's annoying and i hope HTC come out with a rom update very soon as this is just one of many many bugs and annoying quirks in 6.5. Argh!

Hello all, I have a big issue with this tilt 2 and that is the sms sent and pressing "X" to go back in the inbox of sms messages, it lags for a good 10-20 and sometimes the whole screen would freeze up because of this.
So I recently bought a tilt 2 and the seller told me he flashed it to a new rom which whenever I turn the phone on, it says Energy Rom so does anyone have a solution to this sms sent lag other than deleting all text messages daily, please help!
Thank you all in advance for your time and suggestions!
Sending a TXT isn't instant... it takes a little bit to log in, transmit, and finish sending the TXT message.. that is most likely the 10-20 sec of "lag" you are experiancing... I use the Energy line of roms myself... and I feel they are the best over all roms out there... period.

And it has nothing to do with the crappy htc sms client? come on it isn't normal that you have to wait 10-20 seconds when you send a sms.

I'd have to agree. A SMS is about 1/7th of a kilobyte and a kilobyte is practically nothing. Sending a SMS doesn't cause a lag. I've been sending SMS since 1998 and WM wasn't even an option back then. It's all Microsoft and their crap OS.
I have to agree, it is the crappy htc sms client to blame, so I'm guessing noone have found a solution to this yet? Have you guys tried to hotfix from htc site?
I owned the tilt 1 and there was no lag at all in sms.
Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I'm not familiar with these types of ROM, such as Energy Rom. Is that the same as Manila 2.5? Or are they completely different?

What Exactly Do You Need Help With?
Maybe I Could Try To Help You.
I am attempting to change the interface on my tilt 2 to android or something else so the sms in threaded mode won't lag and plus im tired of the WinMo appearance. =)
Thank you for your time!
Hi I have the same problem as you and it drives me crazy. tell me if im correct: You are complaining about the fact that after you press x to close a threaded text conversation it lags getting back to the inbox. On mine everything changes back to the inbox except for the top of the screen and then it just sits there till it eventually goes bqck. Your not reffering to how long it takes for you friend to receive the text, correct? Ive tired installing the most current sms program from htc that was taking from another phone and although it looked much niicer and had some cool features it didnt work right and i had to switch back. Maybe somone reading this can suggest something. It sdriving me crazy. as far as changing from the windows look which either you mean what they call titanium which is that homescreen where you have everything in alist and you can scroll up and own through it or do you you mean what they call touch flo or sense where you move along the bottom of the screen through tabs? either way i would highly recomend spb mobile shell which will make your phone similar to android layout. It works great and is reqally easy to customize everything. or at least touch flo/sense with what they call cookies home tab which helps you customize your home screen. Let me know whcih one you have and which one you want and ill help you. I dont know how to program but i do know how to use the phone well, and customize it thanks to all the developers here who provide us with so much to do it with.
@ swaters3, yes that is exactly the probably with sms, it takes forever to go back to inbox screen and it freezes up. I'm not should what layout I have but its WinMo and the previously owner changed the rom the Energy Rom, if that matters. As for the Android layout, I heard I can do a dual boot where I can keep both WinMo and Android on the tilt 2. I was thinking, if I can boot to android that the sms will function right. As of now, I am still stuck with tilt 2 lagging sms threaded mode. Frustrating.
Do you hava a lot of sms or e-mail saved on the phone? That can cause it to bog down.
Yeah, but I originally owned the tilt 1 and had over 4,000 text message and encounter no problem sending out text messages.

i wish someone could help us with the lag, lately ive just learnt to be patient, though that is a little ridiculous. There is a sms program from htc (thecompany that makes the phone) that is much nicer and did not have the lag. I did have some other issues but maybe it will work for you. Search in xda for updated htc sms app and see if you can find it. as far as anroid goes I am trying to get mine to work properly and have still not got it to connect to sprint. Its a work in progress and not everything works so i dont think you would want to switch to it permanently. Give it a shot though its very cool and gets better every few days. As of know I think the camera is still not working but most everything else is. I would recomend spb mobile shell. watch some videos on youtube although you will be able to customize it yourself completely. Youll need to play with it to figure out how to customize it but its pretty easy just drag and drop type of stuff with anything on the phone. It looks and works like android but youll still be suing windows mobile. Its works great for me and i wouldnt be able to keep this phone if not for it. I hope that helps.
